The California Occupational Guides are a series of about 300 information sheets covering individual occupations or groups of related occupations. They provide statewide information about job duties, working conditions, employment outlook, wages, benefits, entrance requirements, and training. www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/career

The Guides are provided in an Adobe Acrobat format (PDF) as they are updated. These files require the Acrobat Reader, available for free downloading from Adobe, for viewing. You can read a short history of the Occupational Guides at California Occupational Guides - Yesterday and Today. www2.sls.lib.il.us/MVCC/searchtips/archives/000469.html
